Poems that butter your toast

33

I've spent countless hours reading poetry, reading books, memoirs, guides.
I've read and read
Hoping to stumble into a life changing sentence
But it was upon this journey that the life changing answer was revealed
It wasn't hiding in a book
In a stanza
Or in a verse
It was all of it
I became all of the poems I read
The pages I flipped through
The hours I spent
I gained little pieces
I gained new knowledge
I think differently now
I resonate different
A well read person, is a powerful person.
